  • Patent number: 8466797
    Abstract: The invention relates to a handheld device (1) for infrared temperature measurement, comprising an infrared radiation detector (3) for measuring the temperature of a measuring spot (4) on an object under measurement (5), comprising an optical pickup device (2) for sensing the region containing the measuring spot (4) and comprising a display means (6) for presenting the measured temperature value. To provide a handheld device (1) which uses simple means to enable an operator to line up a measuring spot (4) on an object under measurement (5) and at the same time give the operator information on one or more ambient variables during this operation, it is proposed to design the display means (6) for continuously presenting the region of the object under measurement (5) that contains the measuring spot (4) and at least one item of temperature information that is correlated synchronously in time with the presentation.

  • Publication number: 20110243182
    Abstract: A measuring device (1) for contactlessly measuring the temperature is provided with imaging optics (3, 3?) for IR radiation (5), which is incident on a measurement object (16) from a measuring spot (14), and a measuring spot marking apparatus (11) which generates a measuring spot mark (15) which delimits the measuring spot (14), wherein the aperture angle detected by the imaging optics (3, 3?), can be varied using an adjustment device (7), and the adjustment device (7) can be used to change the size of the measuring spot mark (15) in a manner corresponding to the variation in the aperture angle (FIG. 2).
